co2 tank recertification (1 Viewer)

Does anyone know of a place I can take it to.

on the industrial side, you can google an Airgas place and they will do it. Maybe even a welding store. they have areas for repairing and recertifying cylinders and some regulators.

They usually just swap the tank for a new one full of gas and charge you for the gas alone. At least that's what happened the last time I did my 10# and my 50#

@ Scott where did you go to. I called airgas they do not recertified tank. They only refill tank.

the one i got from you, i went to get it filled/swapped and they did not have another bottle the same size as mine, so they just refilled it. can't remember if it needed to be re-certified or not, i did ask them, can't remember what his answer was though.
my suggestion is, just go to get it filled and see if they will swap it. they should check the date on the bottle.

I go to a welding place right down the street from me.

Weird, I don't know who you talked to but I used the Airgas in Deer Park for both of mine and they were both expired when I did it. It cost me like $14 for the 10#, I can't remember how much for the 50#.

Airgas Southwest
5310 Railroad Street
Deer Park, TX
(281) 476-9729

Just Google ""Welding Supply" for your area and any of them should be able to do it for you.

@ Scott I talked to the Airgas on the 610 loop. I believed his name was Robert. I called several welding supply but no help. I guess I will keep calling around.

Try Air Liquid. You should have one not to far from you in Pearland.

 

[andrew7b]

@ Elton I will give them a call. Thx

I used AAA fire something or other on bissonet street. You are pretty close to it from pearland. 288 will get you pretty close.

We use Airgas in Texas City and when our certification is up they just swap it out for a new tank.

Any scuba shop will get the job done on a metal tank. Visuals every year and hydrotest on a 5 year basis.

Thx everyone. I took it to Big Tex welding shop. One of the staff was kind enough to swap it out. They have the best price in town. They charge $12 plus tax for a 20 lbs tank.
